Tenth Avenue North - Times (Valentine's Day Version) lyrics

[Verse 1] I know I need You I need to love You I'd love to see You but it's been so long I long to feel You I feel this need for You I need to hear You Is that so wrong? [Spoken] "My Child, I know everything about you I knew you even before you were conceived I knit you together in your mother's womb You were not a mistake, for all your days are written in my book I'm not distant or angry I am the complete expression of love." [Verse 2] Now You pull me near You When we're close I fear You Still I'm afraid to tell you all that I've done Are You done forgiving? Or can You look past my pretending, Lord I'm so tired of defending what I've become What have I become? [Spoken] "It is my desire to lavish my love on you Simply because you are my child Every good gift that you receive come from my hand Because you are my treasured possession." Oh oh oh "When you are broken hearted, I'm close to you Like a shepherd carries a lamb, I've carried you close to my heart." Oh oh oh "One day, I'll wipe away every tear from your eyes And I'll take away all of your pain." Oh oh oh [Bridge] I hear You say "My love is over, it's underneath It's inside, it's in between The times that you doubt me When you can't feel The times that you question Is this for real The times you're broken The times that you mend The times you hate me And the times that you bend Well my love is over, it's underneath It's inside, it's in between The times that you're healing And when your heart breaks The times that you feel like you've fallen from grace The times you're hurting The times that you heal The times you go hungry and are tempted to steal In times of confusion In chaos and pain I'm there in your sorrow under the weight of your shame I'm there through your heartache I'm there in the storm My love I will keep you by my power alone I don't care where you've fallen or where you have been I'll never forsake you My love never ends It never ends." [Spoken] "My son died so that you and I could be together His d**h was the ultimate expression of my love for you And nothing will ever separate you from my love again I've always been your Father, and will always be your Father And when you come home, I'll throw the biggest party Heaven has ever seen." [Interlude] Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh (x2)
